Why Is It Usually Difficult To Get a Loan With Bad Credit?

If you’ve struggled to be approved for credit in the past, then a poor credit history and a low credit rating may be to blame for this.

Frequently answered questions

What is a Credit Score?

A credit score is an evaluation of how ‘credit-worthy’ you are. After an evaluation of your credit history, you’re assigned a number, which is your numeric credit score. The higher this number is, the more trustworthy you’re seen by lenders, as it is seen as a display of how likely you are to make repayments.

You may have also heard the term credit rating. This is similar to a credit score, as it displays credit-worthiness. However, this applies to a business, government or group, instead of an individual. So there’s no need to worry! You can read more about what a credit score is here.

How to Check Your Credit Score

Many websites allow you to check your credit score for free, such as ClearScore. However, others do charge for this service. Your report should then be updated monthly.

The three main credit reference agencies in the UK are: Experian, Equifax and Callcredit. There isn’t one universal credit score, and each may give you a different value. This also means that you could be accepted by a lender that uses one of these agencies and rejected by another.

It’s wise to check your credit score regularly, as it can improve your chances of being accepted for credit or taking out a loan in the future. Click here to learn more about how to check your credit score.

What is a Bad Credit Score?

A bad credit score means that you may find many lenders are unwilling to lend you the money you need, that’s why it can be necessary to find loans for poor credit.

All agencies use a different system for assessing your credit score, but each checks the same factors. The main credit referencing agencies consider these to be the main boundaries for a Very Poor to Excellent credit score:

Experian: Zero to 560 is Very Poor, 961 to 999 is Excellent

Equifax: Zero to 278 is Very Poor, 467 to 700 is Excellent

Callcredit: Zero to 550 is Very Poor, 628 to 710 is Excellent

How to Improve Your Credit Score

The good news is that even if you do have a poor credit score, it can be improved with a few very simple actions. So, make sure you’re on the electoral register, ensure your name is added to any bills and make sure that there are no mistakes on your credit file (which you can view). If your partner has poor credit, then it may also be dragging your score down.

You can also build your credit score over time, by paying off your bills promptly, avoiding late or missing payments and reducing the balance on any outstanding credit.
